High Performance Glove Leather From Goat Skin Role Of Physico-chemical Properties

The chemical and physical characteristics of the goat skins are essential to make glovernleathers. The characteristic of skin can be analyzed by using Scanning ElectronrnMicroscope (SEM), light microscope and studying histological structure of the skin asrnwell as through various chemical characteristics. The fiber opening operation as well asrnthe post tanning auxiliaries like syntans and fatliquors are known to significantlyrninfluence the properties of glove leathers. The right choice of lyotropic agents, fatliquorsrnand syntans are critical to obtain the leathers with good gloving property. Hence, in thisrnthesis an attempt has been made to study the physico-chemical properties of the skin andrnto study systematically the influence of various lyotropic agents, fatliqours and syntansrnon the gloving properties of leather made from goat skins. Care was taken to ensure thatrnthe properties of gloving leathers viz.run, softness, strength properties and otherrnsubjective properties like smoothness and stretch based on the physico-chemicalrnproperties of the skin were obtained.
